Why do we need to display the currency symbol in visual basic 6.0

When we develop or design the corporate project or any type of financial project then there is a very important part is to display the Indian rupee symbol (₹) instead of ‘Rs’. In the above, we have seen the steps for adding currency symbols in your designed form or project. Due to the currency symbol, our application looks attractive and professional. So that it’s very easy to understand to amount in the visual basic application.

Most of the beginners and visual basic advanced programmers are also unable to generate the rupee symbol (₹) in vb6. I also searched the solution for this problem but I can’t find the proper solution for my problem and then I create this solution to display the rupee symbol in visual basic 6. But here the problem of this solution is that the symbol is image format so that it will display as soon as the program execution.

Why we can’t display the Indian rupee symbol in visual basic 6.0

The main reason for this problem is that visual basic 6.0 is not supported to Unicode so that we can’t display the Indian currency symbol. When visual basic 6.0 was developed at the time our Indian currency symbol was not declared because that most of the computers also did not have rupee (₹) symbol, but now the latest computers and latest visual basic have this symbol.

Most of the time students are copy the (₹) symbol and paste it in the textbox or label property but after pasting this symbol there will display the question mark symbol like this ‘?’ and the reason is we have already seen. I think this is the only and best way to display the Indian currency rupee symbol in visual basic 6.0.
